“Thus, because Christian morality leaves animals out of account (of this, more later on), they are at once outlawed in philosophical morals; they are mere “things,” mere means to any ends whatsoever. They can therefore be used for vivisection, hunting, coursing, bullfights, and horse racing, and can be whipped to death as they struggle along with heavy carts of stone. Shame on such a morality that is worthy of pariahs, chandalas, and mlechchhas, and that fails to recognize the eternal essence that exists in every living thing, and shines forth with inscrutable insignificance from all eyes that see the sun! But that morality knows and respects only its own worthy species, whose characteristic reason [Vernunft] is the condition on which a being can be an object of moral consideration and respect.”
